SCboy presents: World Team League 2021

China Team Championship goes global!

(Wiki)World Team League/2021/Summer


[image loading]

In WTC 2021, teams are no longer required to field a player from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan or Macau. This opens the gate for teams from Europe and America to compete in the league, and with online cross server matches becoming the norm in a post-pandemic world, WTC becomes the first premier team competition in recent years to go global after the departure of legendary team events like Acer Teamstory Cup.

[image loading]

Regular Season

12 team round robin. Proleague format, best of 2 series for each match-up, with best of 1 ace match if needed. Top 5 advance to playoffs.

Playoffs

Proleague style single elimination bracket, best of 7 all kill format, best of 2 series for each match-up with a unique twist: in a 1-1 scenario, both players will be eliminated.

[image loading]

New faces and old fan favorites come together to form the most diverse and exciting line up in CTC history.

I feel like with so many great teams, they could have extended the playoffs by one spot.

Is the the best news in recent times?

Finally a Team League! And the teams looks overall pretty balanced

Now we just need NationWars back

This is some of the best news possible for SC2. I'm really excited to see how the teams do. For a world team league we are missing some critical top players. As there still time for teams to pick up more players?

Yeah, that's the disadvantage of having a small SC2 roster on a team. The same goes for most of the other top foreigners (Serral, Showtime, Heromarine, Neeb) and Parting.

Is TLO actually playing? He is listed as part of the Shopify Rebellion roster.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

The idea of smaller EU teams joining together as one for the team league was explored, according to Xiaose on stream. Unfortunately it didn't pan out.

I think its better this way.
Imagine Qlash (Reynor), Ence (Serral), Mouz (Gabe) and BIG (Showtime) formed a super team. It would be against the idear of teams and team leagues to begin with.

Yes it would be interesting to see an EU only team compete there and actually be one of the favorites. But not if we had to sacrifice actual teams, that invest into deep roosters for that.
